Student success is central to the mission of the UWG Music. Music will thus foster a culture of completion and student achievement at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We will provide academic programs and other opportunities attractive and beneficial to students. Music’s goal is student success in the broadest sense: progression toward the degree, timely graduation, and attainment of career goals, as well as enhancement of the ability to grow into whole persons, engaged community members, and inspiring, capable leaders. Music will provide experiences beyond the classroom that encourage the campus community including students, faculty, and staff to engage in meaningful ways with a variety of cultures, lifestyles, and perspectives, and respond to pressing local and global challenges.
